The process
Because we cook inside the van, rain doesn’t stop us. Residents will still appreciate a bit of cover near the hatch. December visits in Chalfont St Peter are best at lunchtime, as it is dark by about 3:55pm, while summer visits can run into the evening, with light until about 9:25pm.
- Start with three things: the date, the place and a rough headcount.
- Show us where the van would go, and we will confirm it works.
- A week or so before, we confirm timings and numbers.
- We park, open the hatch and start frying for residents.
- Once the last portion is out, we pack up and go.
Getting ready for the day
- Have a level parking spot ready
- Give us your final numbers and allergies
- Think about a gazebo by the van in case of rain

Chalfont St Peter: your questions answered
How far is Chalfont St Peter from London?
About 21 miles from central London, and we cover it as standard.
Can the van park in Bulstrode Park?
Only with permission from the park’s owner, normally the council. Check with them first, and tell us what they say.
Which areas do you serve?
London and the South East: Kent, Surrey, East and West Sussex, Hampshire, Berkshire, Bucks, Oxfordshire and the Isle of Wight.
Is the fish gluten-free?
Our battered fish contains gluten, because standard batter uses wheat flour. Let us know about coeliac residents in advance, and we will tell you honestly what we can offer.
Can you cater for allergies?
We provide allergen information for everything we serve. Fish and gluten are the main ones in battered fish. Send us any allergies in writing.
Can residents with special diets join in?
Your care team knows each resident’s needs. Share the diets and we’ll say what we can do; texture-modified meals should be prepared or advised on by your own team.
Can you cook in the rain?
We cook inside the van, so rain doesn’t stop us. It is worth planning some cover for the queue.
What does the van need?
Not much: a hard surface or firm, dry grass, that the van can reach easily. If in doubt, send a picture.
